First time in Bangkok? Stay at Ananya's. Where do I begin... In simple terms, I will stay at Ananyas before any other on my next trip to bangkok. It is the perfect place for one or two people. Close to great music, food, coffee and the MRT which will get you anywhere else in the city.
If it is your first time in Bangkok she sends you complete and detailed instructions of how to find the condo, get your key, and even how to get around the city. Ananya went to school in the states so her english is great, not to mention she is just a wonderful person. She saw me walking home from the train one day and gave me a ride back to the condo. I feel i can even call her a friend. If she will let me I will stay there every time i am in Bangkok and you should too
